Another option is to install from source, this works fine if you have all the relevant packages installed (compilers, libraries, header files...). If you don't already have them get your sysadm to install them (say, one per day over a couple of weeks, until he sees the error of his ways...). But really, the painless option for both of you is just to install it from the official SUSE sources with yast, keep it updated automagically, and keep all add-on packages in your own home directory. The sysadmin workload for R on SUSE (and most other Linuxen) should be essentially nil. > > Can anyone help me with the error?

Re: [R] Problem Installing R to SuSE 10 via RPM
apt-get wont run on Suse unless you have aptitude, also your distribution won't compile a deb without some intervention. You won't be able to query the package regardless of key if your local proxy settings won't let you because of admin. Perhaps see if there is a tool to convert the deb package to rpm locally to install after downloading the deb, although building from source shouldn't be that challenging unless you have ridiculous Fortran compiler problems like I do with Linux.

Re: [R] Problem Installing R to SuSE 10 via RPM
Two things: 1. Looking at the sizes of the RPMs at the URL provided, the 'R-base-devel' RPM is only 84k. So as with other Linux distros, that is likely to contain R header files and other such things to enable compilation of CRAN packages during their installation using the source tarballs. The 'R-base' RPM is 33Mb, so that is your primary install for R. You will want both. 2. I don't know about the configuration of the RPMs on SUSE, but presume that as with RH/Fedora, the RPMs can be created in such a fashion that they are not relocatable. That means that they are configured to be only installed 'system-wide', not to a specific user's directory tree. You may have issues trying to install them without root access on your computer, thus may get other permission related errors when you get the correct RPM. Whether they are or are not relocatable would be a question for the SUSE maintainer for the R package. If they are, there are 'rpm' command line arguments that are relevant. So use 'man rpm' for more details. If the RPMs are not relocatable, you will be left with the option of building R from source in order to install R locally and will want to read the R Installation and Administration manual for details.

Re: [R] Problem Installing R to SuSE 10 via RPM
I think it's saying you need to install R-base before R-base-devel. You'll need to add a cran repository as SUSE might not have the most up-to-date version of R. This is the code for Ubuntu I assume it's the same, just change the distro and keyserver: sudo apt-get update sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/bin/linux/ubuntu oneiric/' gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key E084DAB9 gpg -a --export E084DAB9 | sudo apt-key add - You may also want to get Sun java, again, change distro and keyserver: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com B725097B3ACC3965 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin Then run: sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev sudo R CMD javareconf Cheers, Gavin. -Original Message- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Matthew Pettis Sent: 13 January 2012 16:43 To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Problem Installing R to SuSE 10 via RPM Hi, I'm trying to install R from an rpm locally to my account (the reason I'm not doing it through yast/yast2/zypper is that the sys admin isn't yet willing to install it, and doesn't want to support it, but will help me support it if I install it locally -- in short, policy problems rather than technical).
